How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 73 ÷ 100 = 0.73
- Multiply: 0.73 × 12 = 8.76
- Check: Work backwards: 8.76 ÷ 12 × 100 = 73%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 73/100 = part/12, so part = 73 × 12 ÷ 100 = 8.76. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =73%*12. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
What the result means
8.76 is the 73% share of 12. The remaining 27% is 3.24, and the two parts add back up to 12.

Adding and taking away 73%
Increasing 12 by 73% gives 20.76 and decreasing it by 73% gives 3.24. These do not cancel out: raising 12 by 73% and then lowering the result by 73% ends at 5.6052, because the second 73% is taken of a bigger number.
